Sorry for your lost, praying for strength for yoour family.
Nick – you’re the best teenage I’d ever known. I was always amazed at your generosity of spirit, you calm genius and very zen like philosophy. I always thought there were so many things we adults could learn from you. Riana and Ayra have learnt so much from you, right from the time they could hold a pencil, grew up playing with your colors and toys. We love you and I will always remember you as the most lovable, affectionate and extremely generous teenager I have ever known.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Chitra and Zak. May God bless you and guide you through this difficult time.
Our love and sympathy are with you in this dark time. The loss of a son is an unfortunate tragedy that we wish you did not have to bear. We pray that this heavy sadness is lifted in time. Nick will be remembered as the smart, talented, and amiable man that he was, and the joy he brought into the lives of his friends and family will be remembered, always.
Sending you both prayers and hugs. This is very tragic and has left a lot of us heart broken. May God be with you and show you the path..only he has the answers. So very sorry for your loss.

Nick i read this poem after coming home from your funeral and thought f you and knowing you, you will be able to draw a beautiful picture to go with it. I Am With You Still!!!! I give you this thought to keep, I am with you still, do no weep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn’s rain, When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift,uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight, Do not think of me as gone, I am with you still, in each new dawn. II
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers with you in this time.
